Actually now that I think of it that caliper was never stuck the glide pins were stuck, but I fixed that issue.

Get an infrared laser thermometer and and go for a drive. When it starts squealing get out and mesure each rotor.

Ill try that. It's just weird that it only does it after I've been driving a while.

Well each axle should be equal side to side. The fronts should be hotter than rear.
what were your measurements? We're they squealing when you checked?

They had just begun to squeak and I parked and checked. Unfortunately I don't remember the numbers. I should have written. Them down. Stupid me. I'll re do it again tomorrow. But, I noticed that it definitely has some connection with how long I drive. I drove for about 30 minutes and it was squealing pretty bad. I stopped at the store to grab a laser thermometer, which took about 10 minutes, and when I drive home they weren't squealing. They started to again as I got home, 10 minutes later.

Alright so here are some temperature readings I took.

LF 192
RF 165
LR 165
RR 171


I did them all twice to see if maybe the reading was jumpy.
